1st Solution Suppose A = 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 10000 A = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 10000 , then A = 10000 + 9999 + 9998 + . . . + 1 A = 10000 + 9999 + 9998 + ... + 1 -------------------------------------------------- + 2 A = 10001 × 10000 2A = 10001 \times 10000 A = 10001 × 5000 = 50005000 A = 10001 \times 5000 = 50005000 2nd Solution S n = n 2 ( a + U n ) { S }_{ n }\quad =\quad \frac { n }{ 2 } \quad (a\quad +\quad { U }_{ n }) S 10000 = 5000 ( 1 + 10000 ) = 5000 × 10001 = 50005000 { S }_{ 10000 }\quad =\quad 5000\quad (1\quad +\quad 10000)\quad =\quad 5000\quad \times \quad 10001\quad =\quad 50005000 3rd Solution S n = n 2 ( 2 a + ( n 1 ) b ) { S }_{ n }\quad =\quad \frac { n }{ 2 } \quad (2a\quad +\quad (n\quad -\quad 1)b) S 10000 = 5000 ( 2 + 9999 ) = 5000 × 10001 = 50005000 { S }_{ 10000 }\quad =\quad 5000\quad (2\quad +\quad 9999)\quad =\quad 5000\quad \times \quad 10001\quad =\quad 50005000

Well done. I did 9999+2=10001. 9998+3=10001. 10000/2=5000. 5000 x 10001= 50005000
